“The Brazilian national identity is not one of João Gilberto Noll primary concerns. This does not mean social critique is absent: race, gender, and class relations are considered in Quiet Creature. And these are universal relational matters, not necessarily particular to any country. Some critics have commented that understanding the specific Brazilian political context of the novel is helpful for reading Quiet Creature. This may be true, but it's not prerequisite for understanding it.” MeanCountryPoliticalReadingUnderstandingNovelIdentityQuietConcernRelationCriticsGenderBeing TrueHelpfulCritique Author:Adam Morris
“Many environmentalists have failed to recognize that the preservation of quiet areas, places off-limits to noise pollution, should probably be a number-one environmental concern, not something we're going to get to later. And I say that because in that quiet is a whole experience that people can have that reaches to their soul. I like to think of quiet places in nature as the think tank of the soul. It's in these very basic levels that we'll be able to see what the real problem is.” PeopleThinkingRealSoulProblemQuietConcernEnvironmentalPollutionEnvironmentalistQuiet Place Author:Gordon Hempton
“I am a quiet man. I tend to think things through and try not to say too much. But here I am, saying perhaps too much. But there are these feelings inside me which need badly to escape, I guess. And this makes me feel relieved because one of my big concerns these past few years is that I've been losing my ability to feel things with the same intensity- the way I felt when I was younger. It's scary- to feel your emotions floating away and just not caring. I guess what's really scary is not caring about the loss.” ThinkingMenWayNeedsFeelsTryingYearsFeelingsBigsPastFeltLossAbilityEmotionToo MuchQuietLosingConcernScaryCaringIntensityFloatingHere I AmRelievedNot CaringReally ScaryFloating AwayQuiet Man Book:Life After God Source: Life After God
